Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD: Where can the team go this season?

By Christina Roberts

MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. - "The New Deal" - Coulson and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are thrust backward in time and stranded in 1931 New York City. With the all-new Zephyr set to time-jump at any moment, the team must hurry to find out exactly what happened. If they fail, it would mean disaster for the past, present and future of the world on the rip-roaring season premiere of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," airing WEDNESDAY, MAY 27 (10:00 - 11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC. - (ABC/Mitch Haaseth)JEFF WARD, CLARK GREGG

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD kicks off its final season in 1931 New York. The Zephyr can fly them to different points in time. So where can we expect to go?

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD‘s final season is off to the races. Its season premiere picked up exactly where season 6 left off, not bothering to give a “previously on” and expecting everyone to follow.

Because who would be tuning in to a seventh season premiere aside from those who have stuck with them this long?

Toward the beginning of the episode, Simmons gives plenty of exposition to catch Mack, Daisy, and Deke up to speed on what’s happened and where they are. The Zephyr is now pretty much a time machine, ready to jump at any second — but Simmons points out that there are only a few places it can go. We’re following time streams (and not the Magic: The Gathering book I love) that lead to particularly large moments.

For this first time jump, we’re at FDR’s presidential campaign and the potential assassination of Wilfred Malick, grandfather of future head of Hydra Gideon Malick. We’ll be spending at least another episode or two in 1931, and then where do we head from here?

Where else can Agents of SHIELD take us? And what familiar faces might we expect to see?

Well, the easiest bet is that we’ll head to the late 1940s, early 1950s to introduce our characters to Daniel Sousa from Agent Carter. And possibly bring back Peggy Carter herself, because we all need Hayley Atwell in our lives.

One fun point in time that definitely won’t happen would be to take us to 1942 Brooklyn and see a skinny version of Steve Rogers and really have Coulson fanboy over him (but would needing Chris Evans’ face cost them their entire budget for the season?).

The preview for the rest of the season showed the Triskelion from Captain America: The Winter Soldier. So we’ll obviously be revisiting the first couple seasons of Agents of SHIELD as well. If we manage a glimpse at Agent Sitwell, that would be a fun callback. And of course, any addition of Samuel L. Jackson is a welcome one.

And if we’re heading to that general time frame, why not pop in a few years earlier and make sure that Grand Ward does, in fact, join SHIELD so that he can go on to become Hydra? Or what if the Chronicoms go after Daisy back when she was hacker Skye living out of a van? Having Daisy need to save herself would open up a new level of weird (though not one that Agents of SHIELD has avoided in the past).

The possibilities are endless, really, and Agents of SHIELD can define “monumental” moments however they’d like. So let’s sit back and see where exactly the show wants to take us in its final season.
